Science Fair

Today we had a science fair, led by Declan from Science Ireland.

5th and 6th classes were shown several experiments and the scientific explanations were explained.

The pupils then demonstrated the experiments to the rest of the school and pupils got a chance to get hands-on fun with sound, velocity, air pressure, lights, mirrors and heat.

It was a very enjoyable day and we hope to continue experimenting and questioning like scientists!

Seachtain na Gaeilge

Bhí lón lán-Ghaeilge againn ar scoil inniu.

Tháinig rang a haon agus a dó chuig ár sheomra agus roinnamar amach ár lón breise.

Bhíomar ag caint as Gaeilge agus d’imiríomar “Chinese  Whispers”

Bhí lón deas againn!

Dress up

Well done to all of 5th and 6th for getting into the spirit of World Book Day with fantastic costumes!
Each pupil spoke about the book their character came from, and I think there will be alot of interest in the authors we heard about today.
Pete, the drama visitor gave us some good tips on how to really "get into" character. This will be very useful when preparing for our Speech and Drama exams so try to remember some of what he told us.

World Book Day

It's World Book Day on Thursday!

Remember to dress up as a character from a book you have read.

Be as creative as you can, with what you can make by yourself!

Have a look at the official website to find out about the books you can get for free with your token.

We will be posting photos of all the fantastic costumes so get ready to strike a pose :)

Pop art

We have been looking at the work of pop artists, and in particular at Andy Warhol. We have created our own version of his famous Campbell's soup, using a tin of beans!
We also styled Mr. Tayto in a similar fashion to his Mickey Mouse.
Victoria experimented further and downloaded an app which allowed her to create this piece!

Very cool :)
